Is that vortex fan hype? I understand why a focused cylinder of air is beneficial for some applications, but not when the case is 8" deep. For short-range applications, could that spiral bezel create more resistance and thus more noise?

There's at least 3 good reasons to buy this compared to a shuttle for your small PC:- It's cheaper to buy- Comes with powerful PSU- Supports full size graphics cards

I have slight reservations about putting a GFX card like the HD 5970 in there - Would it not get a little stuffy? Maybe the side of the case that the GFX card is placed up against has some air vents on it. Can anyone see from the video if that were the case?
